Date: January 17, 2010 09:31AM hello everyone,
I have soaked chickpeas in water for a bout a day and a half, thus sprouting them, then i dried them a bit and put them in the fridge. some of them turned gray, though thier texture and taste were usual. Any ideas to why that might have happend and if it is still o.k to eat them? Thanks ahead, Eric Re: chikpeas have turned gray

Date: January 20, 2010 05:00PM The Sproutpeople sell them as Garbonzo beans and offer a sprouting method involving an 8 to 12 hour initial soak--
[www.sproutpeople.com] I like to add a touch of sea salt to the soak water and think it helps the sprout electrolytically. Re: chikpeas have turned gray

How's the sprouting going? My chick peas were good but didn't keep as long as my lentil sprouts do, which is normal? Oh well, am about to do another smaller batch. Re: chikpeas have turned gray

Date: February 10, 2010 02:23AM Eric, Gray is molding and getting rancid.
I use filtered water to sprout. After rinsing well, I soak them overnight and then rinse twice a day, leaving the chick peas at room temperature. If the room is too warm, the chick peas will mold and will need to be thrown away. The chick peas are ready when they have a small tail. If the tails get too long, they start to turn to mush, too. Hope that helps. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
